Timber Frame Operative

Are you someone practical who would love to start a career as a Timber Frame Operative for Scotframe?

At Scotframe, we are looking for a Timber Frame Operative to work in our Operations team, helping to deliver quality timber frames for our customers all across the UK.

This Timber Frame Operative will be a part of our team at our Cumbernauld site. It’s a varied role and you will be trained on all aspects of the process, giving you opportunities for growth and progression whilst meeting customer demand for our award-winning products.

Scotframe is part of Saint-Gobain and we supply award-winning timber frame kits for self-build and commercial home developers across the UK. We’ve been helping homeowners achieve their dreams for over 30 years.

The hours of work are 6am – 2pm Monday to Friday and we do have overtime available too.

What we’re looking for:

• Experience of working with timber would be advantageous but not essential as we will provide training to set you up for success.
• This is a manual role involving using tools to construct our products, so the ability to be at a station for your shift is necessary.
• A good team player.
• A strong focus on health and safety.
• Great timekeeping – we need to ensure we deliver for our customers on time, every time.

What you will be doing:

• Using different tools such as nail guns, saws, and machinery to lift and construct our timber frames.
• Understanding and using manufacturing drawings to build frames to customer specifications.
• Completing any relevant training needs for core skills, within your own role and multi-skilling.
• Demonstrating flexibility and teamwork to improve efficiency and effectiveness, meeting the needs of the business.
• Assisting with the company stock takes when required.
• Ensuring work equipment/machinery is well maintained.
